Oh and you made a mistake. You have guest reviews on. Most don’t have it on solely because 90% of the actual users will at most criticize decisions and maybe offer ways to improve. While saying how moronic or stupid something is. As some people just speak that way when criticizing others.

While 90% of guest reviews will directly attack you or flame you or spew negativity. So most have that turned off. I looked through your reviews and the vast majority is literally ALL from Guests lmao. Only found a few that weren’t.

So like i said you were making a mistake the entire time. Which probably led to this.

I enjoyed this, but you shouldn’t focus on the negatives. If they don’t provide constructive criticism in that “negativity” just ignore them and call them morons. Cause that’s what they are. If you keep reading a story you obviously don’t enjoy. You stop reading. And if you don’t…. Then that means those people are simply there to insult you and gaslight you. Nothing more and nothing less.

Focus on the positives. The positive reviews. As those are the ones who care. As all I’ve seen when looking at the reviews here is a lot of positive ones….. so why react like this? But your choice as it’s not like you make money from doing this. If you did and was allowed to though i’d say don’t be a quitter, ignore all the negativity cause it doesn’t even matter as they aren’t your “fans” or “readers” and just focus on the positives as those are your readers.

My advice as personally I’ve seen many many others which has had it much worse. But regardless They stick through all that abuse because they know the ones that matter is the positive reviews (and the view count) and have a stong mind. Cause there is always gonna be haters out there.

There was some hope but even that is gone.
Another great writer lost due to ongoing toxicity by readers who don't even have a common sense to stop reading the fic if they do not like it.

I loved this. Hope you finish this one day. Thank you.

Highly unfortunate. I really enjoyed this story. Thank you for writing it, for posting it here for us to read, and especially for keeping it up even after deciding you're done with updating it.

Yeah, I figured James was inside him after the duel. He knew magic he shouldn't, was able to ignore the body damage, and called Snape by a name he shouldn't have known. He also identified the spell Malphoy used on him as being a creation of Snape's.

I'm confused not just about the class scheduling, but which house is meant to lose points if he belongs to them all?

Yea im out F hermione F nevil F him getting slapped, F him staying with the gryffindors. I get why you abandoned this now, you had all the makings of a great harry and you ruin it to make him “friends” with those two idiots for no reason.

Damn, I forgot to add these two before posting my previous review:

"Malfoy was still a student and, as such, he had to face the consequences like everyone else"
And if Harry had killed his opponent, he probably would have had some points deducted, because he "was still a student and, as such, he had to face the consequences like everyone else"? Or is that "everyone else" but Harry?
If Hogwarts' rules didn't forbid a duel like that, then why the hell should following the rules of that duel be punished?

"no-one but Harry seemed to figure out how useless the second punishment was"

Yes, absolutely "no-one but Harry", not even one, because if you artificially dumb down absolutely everyone else, then even a brain-damaged flobberworm may look somewhat smart now and then.
But if that's the only way for an author to make their character look smart, what does that say about the author?

"Draco had been given a fortnight's detention and a year's ban from playing for the Slytherin Quidditch Team for using such clearly-dark magic on another student"

Banned from Quidditch for a year? Would make sense... if he were on the team, which he isn't, so it doesn't make sense. It's just seriously stupid.
And using such "clearly-dark" magic is a problem? In a duel where killing the opponent would have been perfectly fine? Where Harry used potentially lethal magic too? Who the hell gets to decide that something is "clearly-dark" just by looking at it for a few moments?
And most importantly: If that duel was, according to Harry, family business and not a school matter, why the hell should Malfoy then get disciplined by the school in the form of detentions and the Quidditch ban?

But logic doesn't matter much to you, does it? As long as your darling Harry gets pampered by life while being as edgy as possible and his enemies get beaten down and then kicked some for good measure, you can tell yourself that you're doing a good job as an author.
You're as full of it as your story.

"Alternatively, which I'm sure you're going to do, you could ask me which dormitory I'd prefer to be in and send me there or, more-likely, you could..."

Let's see, Harry thinks Flitwick is going to do one thing, but thinks Flitwick is more likely to do something else? Is your "smart boy" too stupid to understand this bullshit sentence?
And why the f*** doesn't he just shut up and see what the professor has to say rather than once again try to show off his "smartness" and once again come across as arrogant and stupid?

"if only to discover where the boy's unyielding sense of isolation came from"

I could have answered that one for the old man: It comes from Harry having no friends due to being a complete asshole about everything, as he has constantly demonstrated almost from the beginning of this story.

"Were points meant to mean something?"

Indeed, they were. And "smart boy" would know that, if he had listened to McGonagall's potentially important introductory speech rather than decide beforehand that it would be boring and not worth listening to. Yes, sooooooo smart of him.

Apparently he's also stupid enough to believe that being brave requires having table manners. Is this because you think Godric Gryffindor would have "had" table manners? You do realize what passed as table manners in medieval times, don't you? But how about fencing? Godric probably could handle a sword quite well. Does that mean anyone not knowing how to do so should be disqualified from being in Gryffindor?

And then, when McGonagall just asks what the meaning of the disturbance is, he apparently considers it smart to preemptively blow up at her.

Not to mention how he apparently considers it very smart to alienate an entire family by calling one of the siblings inbred. Or is the "smart boy" too stupid to realize that one person being inbred would mean that all their siblings are just as inbred?

And Snape is amused? Yeah, right. Harry's arrogant behavior would never remind him of an almost identical looking arrogant boy he had known 20 years ago and whom he still has a grudge against. And that arrogant behavior would suddenly erase any notion of blaming Harry for Lily's death. And that behavior of an arrogant spoilt brat would make Snape completely abandon the notion that Harry is an arrogant spoilt brat. Yeah, makes perfect sense. Right.

"My name is Harrison Potter, not Harry; next time, Professor, get your facts
straight."
What facts? His made-up name that he believes he can just choose on his own? Well, in that case, from now on you will address me as Leopold Octavius Wellington-Sterling. Or else! (The "else" being me blowing up at you like a pathetic spoilt brat worse than Malfoy.)

So far I've not seen any of that "smartest wizard alive" that you've promised. In fact, it only seems to be getting worse.

"He was only loyal to three people.
He, himself and his."

That's not getting any more funny by using it multiple times. It also doesn't get any more grammatically correct - which an actually smart Harry should know. But apparently elementary school English grammar is beyond him.

"Harry has been sorted to ALL FOUR Houses? Is… is that allowed? Is it possible? What does it mean?"

No, it's neither allowed nor possible, because then it wouldn't be "sorting" him. The sorting is not about which houses would accept or "welcome" him. Otherwise just about every student would be "sorted" into several houses. Or do you seriously believe there have never been any students who were smart and studious enough for Ravenclaw but had the necessary courage for Gryffindor, for example? Or how about Harry's canon sorting (Slytherin or Gryffindor)? Or Hermione's (Ravenclaw or Gryffindor)?
What it means? That the author had to go with this cliched bullshit to give us another oh-so-subtle "hint" as to how great Harry is, rather than engage their brain to come up with a way to actually show Harry doing something great.

"though Filius did say there was usually an exception for Muggle-born houses"

How on Earth did you come up with that?
Underage magic outside school is forbidden, because unsupervised magic use by insufficiently trained (underage) people is dangerous. An exception for muggleborn's homes would be exceptionally stupid, since there's no trained adult there who could undo any damage. (In magical homes there are such adults, therefore it doesn't matter that the Trace doesn't reliably work there.)
Why would you believe the underage magic ban has anything to do with the Statute of Secrecy? That statute essentially says "No magic in front of muggles." - why on Earth would keeping the secrecy require an additional law against underage magic outside school? Do you for some reason believe the Statute of Secrecy itself doesn't affect minors?

Also, neither mentioning the term "muggles" nor the platform number is giving away the secret of magic to any muggles. The term "muggle" means nothing to them and the platform number... Seriously? The mother must obviously be joking with her children. That's the kind of thing that happens in functional families, you know? Well, Harry may not know. But him not even realizing the possibility and jumping to all the wrong conclusions... Yeah, way to make your "clever boy" look stupid and arrogant.

And the Statute of Secrecy came into effect in 1692 (after being signed three years earlier - or something like that). So it would be much closer to 300 years than 200.

"some primeval belief that those in the right circles..."

"Primeval" means such a long time ago that there was nothing around that was intelligent enough to even HAVE any beliefs. You really aren't doing a good job making Harry look smart.

And Lucius Malfoy is a lord? When magical lordships weren't even a thing in canon? Let me guess... Having Harry claim "his lordship" (or maybe much more than just one?) is the cleverest way for him to get emancipated that you were able to come up with? I seriously hope I'm wrong.

Also, whether the price for something matters to you or not, it is NEVER particularly clever to tell the seller that it doesn't.

"Had I known the evil that would be committed…"
"Nothing would have changed,"
Why? Because Harry is arrogant enough to decide that he knows what Ollivander would have done more than fifty years ago, if he had known that? Get real!

And then that wand... Ever heard the saying "Show, don't tell!"? Giving Harry a special wand to tell us that he must obviously be/become great is just pointless. If you can't actually show his greatness, it will just look pretentious.

"there will not be a power in all magic that can stop him…"
Suuuuuure. Because he's sooooooo clever and great that shooting him in the back is compleeeeeeeetely impossible.
